Highlights

Reporter/Producer ABC News covering the United Nations which included many stories from cultures around the world. I started my broadcasting career working in radio and television both as a producer and regional television anchor for CBS affiliate, KELO, Sioux Falls, SD. Worked in public relations serving different foundations and causes where media professional work was daily, including writing, producing, voicing the stories and causes related. Beginning in 1985 I served as the first U.S. Director, promoting and organizing a national tour of the Anne Frank Foundation of the Netherlands and their photo exhibition: ANNE FRANK IN THE WORLD, (Phone hidden). I also served our South Dakota U.S. Congressional office as a speech writer and legislative aid, prior to my network career at ABC.

Testimonials

My wide variety of professional experience both in television and radio broadcasting, as well as covering the United Nations for World News Tonight with Peter Jennings has prepared me to adapt and to make things work, particularly when it involves broadcast communication. I enjoy a challenge and have International and national experience outside of broadcasting that also informs my broadcasting career.

I spent a decade assigned by ABC World News with Peter Jennings to the UN during the decade of the 90's. During this period I was in charge of producing network specials during the beginning and the height of the first Gulf War, Desert Storm working with Peter Jennings, Barbara Walters, John McWethy and the various international ABC News bureau chiefs. I have done documentary work, which took me through Iraq specifically and the Middle East crises; involved interviews at the highest level of government, both U.S. and Iraq as I told the story of Weapons of Mass Destruction in that region of the world. I was also responsible for reporting for ABC News radio network at the top of the hour, sometimes daily, so I am used to meeting deadlines in short notice.

As founder of US-UN Report, a broadcast that includes a Democrat, a Republican, and an independent, all seasoned in their professional fields in broadcasting and academia, I am committed to discussing the cutting edge of our national and international crises. US-UN Report is a shining example of what can be done with broadcasting skills, reason, and education to contribute to the work of those officials and citizens who seek peace in the world and expect the United States to play a dynamic international, at home, abroad, and in the United Nations
